You might need a CPF to be able to get it (BR's version of a CUIT/L). I'd suggest trying to make a small purchase and seeing if you're prompted for it

I don't like him either but the Dems could have picked anyone else, had people tell Genocide Joe he's not fit, that he's done his job and it's time to move on, but no, not sure if it's hubris or what, but the world is getting a 2nd Trump term unless they swap him out somehow or dies, I'll bet on it.

As someone who hates both of them, I couldn't stand to watch the debate, but based on the highlight reels, all I can say is Trump can start measuring the curtains because lord knows they didn't give Biden enough Adderall. Between his voice and eyes the man has one foot in the grave, it's elder...

Because the BCRA is intervening in the forex market to keep the peso overvalued, he's literally continuing the same policies as the Ks, and wasting the reserved to do so: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-26/milei-s-push-to-rebuild-argentina-s-foreign-reserves-grinds-to-a-halt...

I love it, we've gone full circle, now it's Milei pissing away desperately needed reserves to keep the peso artificially valued. I guess Cristina and Alberto were the first LLA presidents lol

I believe they are to blame for some of the issues, yes, just like Macri was with Alberto, but they're starting to sound a lot like the Ks in their rhetoric and I promise you this is going to repeat itself because every Argentine government has done this, balming their predecessors, warranted or...

Remember the Ks telling us crime was a "sensation"? I'm waiting for the LLA trolls to say the shitty economic situation is one as well since people are already getting sick of the "Oh, pero Alberto..."

What could go wrong? Recession, continued high inflation (estimates for June are ~5.5%), an artificially cheap dollar (hurts exports), and 57% poverty rate, yet this idiot is talking about how he thinks he'll probably get a Nobel Prize in Economics. Is Narcissus going to drown while staring at...

Turnstile jumping doesn't bug me, I want more people to take public transit, and it needs more funding which this takes away from, yes, but of all the different kinds of theft in society, it's near the bottom in terms of my concern. This is especially true when you consider places like New York...

Was literally saying this to my husband last week. We went grocery shopping and I wore shorts and a t-shirt and him pants and a hoodie. He said it's cold outside and I told him I'm more concerned about the heat inside since people put the thermostat to 90 once it hits 65 outside here. We both...

A few different places in LA County; LA itself, Burbank, Glendale, Malibu, etc. and it was the same everywhere, some things more expensive, other things much, much cheaper. The reason why is import tariffs, variety, and gouging. There's no competition here, and the government protects Argentine...

US Prices with Argentine salaries, and people are still paid in pesos.

It's can be confusing, especially with debit vs credit too: Debit transactions are processed at the time they occur, around $1,474.40 per dollar. You'll likely see the transaction itself in dollars, the bank's mid-market markup rate, then applicable taxes. Depending on the purchase it may...

I used to chalk it up to nostalgia (even though I'm only in my 30s) but there's many things today that taste different or seem completely different from when I was a kid, and it appears that it's not all in my head. I used to think it snowed more when I was kid, but thought it was probably...

I tried Pulpo Blanco a couple of times and it wasn't to my taste personally. Schweppes (AR fromula) still isn't 100% there, but it's the closest yet, but as I said, Canada Dry is the benchmark for me, though we can't always get what we want.

Schweppes is now making Ginger Ale in Argentina! Saw it in Jumbo and was shocked. It's no Canada Dry, but it's slightly better than Cunnington, and should be fine for Moscow Mules.You can also get it for a good deal via Coca Cola en Casa, about 50¢ a can.

I never thought about how Milei's philosemitism probably drives him up the wall on this, plus she also is popular, i.e. it wasn't a lesser of two evils, people actually like her

And it begins, the crypto grifters begin targeting the forum. For anyone who doesn't trust or want their greenbacks, I'm offering Quilombocoin at a 1:1 ratio per dollar, and free pickup of USD in cash in the GBA area.

He's an inspiration to all with mental illness and/or addiction issues, in a similar way Biden is to seniors with dementia: don't let reality and the wellbeing of your country get in the way of seizing the heights of power. I used to think mad kings were a euphemism, or scribes lashing out at...

I haven't been in a while, but the fees are higher than using WU, IIRC you can take out around 800 USD at a time, and the fees are around $5 USD per withdraw + whatever your bank charges you back home.
